Using
Webglimpse installed on your own server is an ideal site search
engine for your website if you use Google Analytics tracking. All
you need to do is be sure you put your Google Analtyics tracking code
on your site search page and your wgoutput.cfg file that displays
Webglimpse search results.

Example
Analytics tracking code:

<script
type="text/javascript">

_uacct="UA-123456-1";

_udn="none";

_ulink=1;

urchinTracker();

</script>

Do not
modify the Webglimpse form action in any way on your search page. Use
the standard webglimpse form action tag for your site.

Example:

<FORM
method=get NAME="wgform"
ACTION="/cgi-bin/wg2/webglimpse.cgi">

Check
your analytics data and it should be correct. If it is not correct
you will have to determine why you are not getting the correct
Analytics data from your website. It is beyond the scope of
Webglimpse to assist you with installing Google Analytics for your
website, but the above instructions and examples have been verified
as correct. If you have any problem with your Analytics data you
should be certain you have the correct Analytics tracking code on
your site search page and in your wgoutput file.

The
Google Analytics tracking script needs to be inserted in the <HEAD>
section of your wgoutput.cfg file:

USING
WEBGLIMPSE WITH MERCANTEC SOFTCART 5.1.2

Webglimpse
also works well with ecommerce shopping cart software. You will have
to use the correct specific hidden input data values for your
specific ecommerce software.

You must
be certain the Webglimpse form action statement on your website's
user search page passes the proper values to Webglimpse so your site
maintains your visitor's shopping cart and any session data
correctly.

EXAMPLE:
Here is an example ecommerce implementation using Webglimpse with
Mertcantec Softcart 5.1.2:

1.
USERGEN# is a standard Softcart tag for maintaining shopping cart id
and session data while a form is being executed. You might need to
use USERPROG# instead on for some softcart sites - you will have to
determine if you need this change. Most likely USERGEN# is the
correct softcart tag. This tag applys to Mercantec Softcart only!

With
Softcart the URLs that display in the user's browser are modified by
Softcart from their actual directory urls (example:
http://yoursite.com/online-store/scstore/anywebpage.html) to
http://yoursitename.com/cgi-local/softcart.exe/online-store/scstore/anywebpage.html.

In this
example Softcart always inserts "/cgi-local/softcart.exe"
in the url so the value for the above hidden "prepath"
input is VALUE="/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe". If you are using
softcart limited to 100 items your prepath value would be something
like"VALUE="/cgi-local/SoftCart100.exe". Just be sure
you use the correct exe file name for your ecommerce package.

This
hidden input with Mercantec Softcart preserves the correct shopping
cart id and session data and adds it to the Webglimpse search results
page URLs at the END of each URL. "?L+scstore" is standard
Softcart state tracking and Softcart configuration data.

If your
Softcart configuration file name is different (example: mystore.cfg)
then you would modify the above hidden input to read:

The
%%SoftCart.SessionID%% statement in the above hidden input for
"postpath" is the standard dynamic session ID tag used in
Softcart to generate the shopping cart id and session data.

Using
simple substution for the hidden input values you need based on your
ecommerce software you should be successful implementing Webglimpse
with other brand ecommerce software besides Mercantec Softcart. The
above example works perfectly with Mercantec Softcart 5.1.2 provided
you use the correct path and store name in your input values for your
website.

USING
WEBGLIMPSE WITH BOTH ECOMMERCE SOFTWARE AND GOOGLE ANALYTICS:

If you
combine the instructions for Analytics above with the instructions
for Mercantec Softcart your Softcart ecommerce website will work
properly with both Mercantec Softcart and Google Analytics. If your
website is not an ecommerce website with shopping cart software, use
only the instructions for using Webglimpse installed on your own
server with Google Analytics.

If your
ecommerce software is some other software package like Miva Merchant,
etc, you will have to determine the proper hidden input values and
shopping cart tags if needed for your "USERGEN#" "prepath"
"insertbefore" and "postpath" statements, but the
Google Analytics installation will probably be exactly the same. You
may not need a tag like USERGEN#.

You also
have the option of using only some of the hidden inputs if your
ecommerce software structures its dynamic URL's differently
